Dear Colleagues:
A few years ago we began to come together as basically a grass roots group. Our mission was to support and urge communication and cooperation among persons with pain and the various stakeholders who support persons with pain. Only through these types of coordination did we see ahead hope and the promise of inclusion in society, both as to medical matters and as to social awareness and participation.
Our email discussions then turned into active participation in various fora, and among these modes of outreach we were honored and pleased to become accredited to the United Nations - looking toward global concerns for disabilities of all types and in all places.
When Persons With Pain International grew based on our groups became accredited to the activities and events toward the Convention on The Rights of Persons With Disabilities, our in person efforts at the U.N. increased and we were honored to be Observers at the recent signing of the Convention.
It is reported that 83 countries have now signed the Convention, about which we will be having special reports. We also have pictures to share.
